Lyrics

It started out with a few misfortunes His daddy ran off with some broad from the Motown When mama said we're leaving tomorrow Jimmy already had his things together So many days of thinking of the past The girl he left behind and hanging out in the free streets Somehow Jimmy had survived his reflections The broken glass in his hands, a noose before him Said he did it before, he's gonna do it again Give him a fix and a bottle and he won't complain Until he's blue in the face Jimmy's the leader of a losing race Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson? You always know what you were missing Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem? Just a kid with no direction Some people say it was fright that drove him But Jimmy knows he's really scared of difference The whipping boy won't take his beating It only left them alone to their thinking Of how he knew what they could never know And he would live and learn to be himself through his mistakes Watch and laugh, pretend they were okay Waiting for things to change, it's just another day Said he did it before, he's gonna do it again Give him a fix and a bottle and he won't complain Until he's blue in the face Jimmy's the leader of a losing race Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson? You always know what you were missing Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem? Just a kid with no direction Hey Jimmy don't you walk away We'll look at life according to me You're my life support autobiography Hey Jimmy take a look inside Let's take a chance, enjoy the ride Impressions don't die No one knew your story Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson? You always know what you were missing Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem? Just a kid with no direction
